Thanks for your prompt answer.
I was looking for something that would get rid of the decimal point
if the number was 10.73 or 10.733 or 10.7333 or 10.7
The decimal place being in any position
Thanks
Ted

The problem with using the Replace string function is that 10.341 ends up as 1034100 if the numeric is defined with five places. If you want 10.342 to end up as 10341, 10.73 as 1073, 10.733 as 10733, 10.7333 as 107333 and 10.7 as 107, then the best way is to use numeric processes rather than string.

The only thing is, you have to define your working number to have enough places to the left to contain the entire value. So your example of storing 10.341 into a variable defined as decimal(5,4) is bogus--it only has one place to the left of the decimal point. So if your value is defined as "decimal(x,y)" then you have to declare a working variable as "decimal(x+y,y)" to contain the entire finished value.
